eBay - search "2001 Audi A4 intake" and you'll find 'em.

Ebay, or I'd just do the intake mod that can be found on the DIY section of this site.

Actually I'd bet that at least half of those here on AF who have an intake have one from eBay (or similar) and there's nothing wrong with them. You won't mess up your engine with one - just make sure the filter isn't over-oiled (if it is, it can make the MAF sensor screwy), and most of these intakes will open up the sound of your car about the same as any other one will.

yeah especialy since you have a 30v, you are not going to really see any gains from an intake, so why not save some money and get teh Ebay ones, or make your own, or do the airbox mod and throw a K&N filter in, get the same sound and save bouko skrilla.






Sorry I just had to.

well I'm not really sure if they're is a namebrand intake around, I think K&N has a short ram intake if you really want to spend you money

I made mine out of extra intercooler piping and a filter laying around. Worked amazing.

Or if you feel the need to really burn through cash unnecessarily, buy the Carbonio intake. $300-400 for an intake that does the same thing as the rest of them.
